  • Compliance & Audits: Support payroll compliance, including multi-state tax withholding, garnishments, and key audits (e.g., 401k, workers’ compensation, and external financial audits).
  • Reporting & Recordkeeping: Provide payroll reports to Finance, Legal, and People Operations, maintain accurate records, and oversee W-2 reviews for timely, accurate issuance.
  • Systems & Process Improvement: Assist with payroll system implementations, automation, and scalable solutions for benefits enrollment, payroll reporting, and compliance.
  • Leave & Benefits Administration: Oversee leave and 401k administration in partnership with People Operations and create monthly reconciliation reports for benefits, 401k, and equity awards.
  • Policy & Project Support: Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, monitor payroll inquiries, and assist with other duties and ad-hoc projects as assigned.

The salary range for this position is $95,000 - $104,000 USD.

You’ll Be a Good Fit If: 

  • Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, HR Management, or related field (or equivalent experience), with 3-5 years in a payroll function, preferably in a fast-paced or tech/start-up environment.
  • Payroll Expertise: Experience managing multi-state payrolls for 500+ employees, including exempt and nonexempt as well as payments for 1099 contractors.
  • Compliance Knowledge: Strong understanding of payroll compliance, state/federal employment laws, and regulations.
  • Technical & System Skills: Proficiency in payroll systems and data flow; ability to learn new software and processes quickly. Rippling and NetSuite experience preferred.
  • Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in MS Excel/Google Sheets and proficiency in MS Word/Google Docs.
  • Organizational & Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines in a fast-changing environment, and exercise sound business judgment.
  • Collaboration & Communication: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work independently and cross-functionally, effectively communicating complex information.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
